This is the story of what Fenwick and the Grand Duchess of Fenwick do when they have too much money. This is the humorous story in the series that looks at economics. I thought it was a lot of fun to read. ( )

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick enters the stock market, with dire consequences for the economy - of the rest of the world. Not as inspired as the original "The Mouse That Roared", but a fine little comic misadventure in its own right. ( )
